<p>Biogeography of introgression across Nigeria.</p>
Listed in UCL Research Data Repository
Description
<p><b>(A)</b> A supervised Admixture analysis was used to estimate <i>S. haematobium</i> (green), <i>S. bovis</i> (orange), and <i>S. curassoni</i> (blue) ancestry in each parasite. Known hybrids—including an F1 <i>S. haematobium × S. bovis</i> hybrid [<a href="plospathogens.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.ppat.1014625#ppat.1014625.ref067" target="_blank">67</a>] and both F1 and early backcross natural <i>S. curassoni × S. bovis</i> hybrids [<a href="plospathogens.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.ppat.1014625#ppat.1014625.ref019" target="_blank">19</a>]—show high levels of mixed ancestry from their parental species.
In contrast, we found no evidence of high levels of mixed ancestry in miracidia collected from humans. Instead, nearly all parasites collected in southern Nigeria carry low levels of livestock parasite ancestry, never exceeding 18.4% (mean 4.9%). “Africa” refers to published sequences from collection localities in Angola, Corsica, Cote d’ Ivoire, Madagascan, Namibia, Sao Tome, Senegal, Swaziland, Tanzania (Zanzibar), Uganda, and Zambia. <b>(B)</b> Mean <i>S. haematobium</i> ancestry values across sampling locations in Nigeria are shown on the map.

Introgressed alleles are largely restricted to southern populations, which contain low levels of non–<i>S. haematobium</i> ancestry, with the exception of parasites from Osun. <b>(C)</b> The proportion of <i>S. haematobium</i> ancestry is relatively high across all Nigerian populations. This pattern is inconsistent with inferences from mitochondrial and ITS genotyping (<a href="plospathogens.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.ppat.1014625#ppat.1014625.t001" target="_blank">Table 1</a>).
For example, individuals homozygous for <i>S. curassoni</i> ITS alleles and carrying <i>S. bovis</i> mtDNA still contain ~97% <i>S. haematobium</i> ancestry across the nuclear genome.</p>
